A Savory Squid and Radish Soup Perfect for Family Meals, Even for Babies!
Introducing a refreshing Squid and Radish Soup, boasting a delightful balance of oceanic freshness and crisp Korean radish. While adding crown daisies enhances the aroma and flavor, this soup can be simply and deliciously prepared with just squid, radish, and green onions, making it a stress-free option even on busy days. Its clear, invigorating broth is perfect for enjoying with rice, and it’s an ideal soup for baby food or toddler meals.
Main Ingredients- 1 fresh squid
- 120g Korean radish (mu)
- 30g zucchini (optional)
- 2 Tbsp green onion, finely chopped
- 700ml stock or water
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup (for seasoning)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the ingredients. Slice the Korean radish into thin, bite-sized pieces, about 0.5cm thick. Finely julienne the green onion. Clean and cut the squid into bite-sized pieces. (Remove the innards and bone, then rinse with water.)
Step 2
In a pot, pour in the stock or water and add the sliced radish. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the radish becomes translucent and tender (about 5-7 minutes). Once the radish is almost cooked through, add the prepared squid and minced garlic, and simmer for a little longer. It’s important not to overcook the squid to prevent it from becoming tough. At this stage, add the soy sauce for soup and taste. Adjust the seasoning with a little salt if needed.
Step 3
Now for the final step. Add the chopped green onion and bring to a simmer once more. (Optional) If you have zucchini or aromatic crown daisies, you can add them now for an even richer and more flavorful soup. Once all ingredients are cooked, turn off the heat and enjoy your delicious soup. ❤️
Step 4
My children happen to love seafood, so when I make squid dishes like this, their reaction is much better than with meat dishes haha. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s always rewarding to cook when they enjoy it so much! ❤️ This means I’ve successfully created another satisfying meal today!
